Okay, about one of the characters, Panther Caroso, I know that in StarFox Assault his voice is done by David Scully who is also Leon and in Brawl: (ONE SMALL PROBLEM) I looked on Lylat Wiki and Arwingpedia about Panther and it said that his voice in brawl is done by Dex Manley! Now THAT is a joke! Last time I looked on behind the voice actors, the actor for Panther in brawl is Eric Newsome which is CORRECT. So Eric has GOT to be the correct actor for Panther Caroso and mentioned in Lylat Wiki and Arwingpedia!

That's because a lot of people who play Mario games apparently can't differentiate sound effects from human voices, and the remote nature of the cast results in most like yourself winding up believing anything they see.

Few like myself actually do the research and are thus rewarded with the truth.

@Daveybird Bowser and DK's voices sound like heavily modified animal sounds. I hear some jaguar in DK, for example. I definitely don't think it was a human behind them.

In Melee at least, Bowser also used some stock sound effects too. His taunt was the famous Godzilla/cliche monster movie roar.

Smash Bros. has also been very good at crediting voice actors (Smash 64 was actually the first time Kazumi Totaka was credited as the voice of Yoshi, for instance), so I believe it was all just stock audio and animal recordings, standard foley work.

@NCZ Good point. I noticed that in SSBB, Bowser's Up-A voice sounds like a jaguar/panther/cougar/wildcat/etc going "REWW!!" It's a shame they don't use his 2002-present human voice for the Smash Bros series, especially now when he's standing upright and dropkicking everyone.

@Daveybird Oh yeah, I'm really happy with the new Bowser. Sadly it looks like they'll be keeping the generic noises for him, DK, and Diddy. I'd love it if Kenny James got the gig, but oh well. I can live.

@NCZ But at least in the new Smash Bros, Bowser has deeper roars, akin to a Lion or Dragon or something. Like how Aeon from Soulcalibur's animal voice pitch lowered from IV to V, and not to spoil anything, but "if" Bowser Jr. "makes it" in SSB4, the last thing we need is him sounding like a little raptor. But I don't think it will "happen," because "if" he "makes it in," they will probably treat him like fellow cute animal kid character Yoshi and keep his human voice, as beastly roars are even more unfitting for him than his father. Again, "I don't know anything..."

@rosebr10 Site's stating Eric Newsome as Bowser have still been around. Did you or did you not see Bowser laughing in Brawl (I'm referring to a Subspace Emissary Cutscene), something a Roaring Sound Effect can't do, but a Voice Actor for the Character can.
